Damascus Blade Detail:

The Vertex features a hand-forged teardrop Damascus steel blade created from layered 1095 and 15N20 steel through repeated forge-welding, hammering, and finishing.

The forging and finishing process produces the distinctive teardrop Damascus pattern across the blade. Because the pattern develops individually during production, every Vertex has its own unique visual character.

The blade is heat treated to approximately HRC 58–60 hardness, providing a dependable combination of sharpness, strength, durability, and edge retention for hunting and outdoor use.

Its 5.0-inch clip point profile provides a defined tip and versatile cutting edge suited for skinning, hunting, field work, camping, and general outdoor utility.

Scales & Handle Detail:

The Vertex features a distinctive multi-material handle combining highly figured exotic rosewood, natural ram horn, and turquoise composite accents.

The rich grain of rosewood contrasts with the natural texture and coloration of ram horn, while the turquoise adds a striking decorative element.

A Damascus steel guard and pommel complement the patterned blade, while the full-tang construction provides additional strength and stability.

Because rosewood and ram horn are natural materials, variations in grain, texture, and coloration make each Vertex individually distinctive.
